Whang Poo River, China October 1945. Note DIXIE in background. Repair Ship U.S.S. Dixie Intends To Heal Bruised Shanghai By Entertainment All through her four-year engagement in the Pacific War theater, the U.S.S. Dixie carried out her tasks of pro- viding succour to doughty or battle-wounded destroyers and submarines by furnishing them with food, water and elec- tricity. A destroyer tender with a com- plement of 1,053 men, including First dance in Shanghai by DIXIE band. Rikshaw anyone? 500 officers, the U.S.S. Dixie is com- manded by Captain A. L. Hutson, U.S.N. The U.S.S. Dixie was commis- sioned on April 25, 1940, coming to Shanghai on September 18 from Okinawa. She has a reputation of a generous ship, since vessels com- ing to her always have food, water or power replenishments. What the U.S.S. Dixie was dur- ing the war she is today, for since her arrival in the city she has al- ready manifested her cooperative spirit in a manner which has won for herself and her men immense popularity In its two performances, exclud- ing the one held yesterday at the Kaiser Wilhelm Schule Ballroom, the Dixie band swingsters by their original presentation of new jozz pieces are making Shanghailanders turn to them for their musical needs. And the Dixie boys intend to go on catering to the most dis- criminating fans, loving to play for an appreciative audience. Tfhe U.S.S. Dixie is essentially a repair ship. It intends to con- tinue its repair work, but not pri- marily ships, for since she berth- ed here, the Dixie has been bent on one intention: to help to re- pair war-scarred and bruised Shang- hai through entertainment.
